Carlos was sitting on a lounging chair at the Plan Woods' Pool. He sat up with his ear buds in and was listening to music, while checking out Logan. Carlos had began to space out until he heard a loud clap in his ear. "You okay bro?" asked Carlos' brother Josh. "Y-yeah ..." said Carlos.
Josh squinted at Carlos and sarcastically said "Sure you are". Carlos hated whenever Josh got all sarcastic, he hates sarcasm. "There really is nothing!" Carlos said to him. Josh giggled and said "Yeah okay" while chortling on. Carlos gave Josh a dirty look and left his chair. "Carlos I'm sorry." Josh said still with a huge grin. Josh loved when Carlos got mad. left the pool and went to the elevator to apartment 2J, he wanted to think. Carlos went into his room after saying hi to Mrs. Knight and lied on his bed. Carlos had Logan on his mind. Logan the Big Time Brain, the one who had been Carlos' best friend for years, the who Carlos had so many great times with, and the guy Carlos was crushing on.
Carlos started having a thing for Logan a few weeks ago. Around the time Carlos' brother moved to the Palm Woods. Carlos then got side tracked thinking of his little brother. He wondered if he could ever tell him, could he? Would Josh understand? Is he a homophobe? What if he hatted Carlos for it? Carlos didn't think he could handle that. Carlos and Josh always knew each other and even though Josh was two tears younger they were also friends. They were friends since Josh was born and brothers when Josh was five and Carlos seven.
The day Josh and Carlos had become brothers was the most bittersweet day for Josh and Carlos they'd ever have. The sweet part was the Carlos and Josh would be brothers, forever friends, and they'd always be together. The bitter part was they Josh's parents had died and his parents were close to the Garcia family as so was Carlos. Carlos had remembered they day so well. He had just gotten back from a hockey tournament with Josh who had come to watch, the Garcia parents were taking Josh to their house for a sleepover. While Josh's parents were driving home they were hit by a truck. The car was completely destroyed. Josh's parents were now dead and if Josh had been in the car he would be too.
When Carlos' parents had heard the news Mrs. Garcia turned into a mess. She was crying in the kitchen while Mr. Garcia conferred her, he too had some tears in his eyes. Carlos remembered hearing the sound of his mother crying so he and Josh went to investigate. Carlos asked his mother what was wrong and when she saw Josh she immediately grabbed him and hugged him, crying saying "I'm so sorry!". Josh didn't understand and neither did Carlos until Mr. Garcia had had Mrs. Garcia let go of Josh and lie down and had Carlos and Josh go to Carlos' room. Mr. Garcia then came into Carlos' room and told them what had happened. Josh cried harder that Mrs. Garcia and Carlos then hugged him, Carlos remembered how he felt when he heard the news. It's was like his Stomach dropped twelve stories and through the Earth. Carlos knew too the Josh felt way worse.
The next day people came and took Josh. Mr. and Mrs. Garcia had Carlos stay at Kendall Knight's house until they got back. They didn't get back until late that night. Mrs. Knight was grieving the loss of Josh's parents as well, everybody was. That day Carlos barely said a word.
When Josh and the Garcia parents picked Carlos up they told him how Josh would be living with then and how Josh and Carlos be brothers. Josh then lived in the Garcia's home and shared a room with Carlos. Eventually things seemed to get normal, everybody stared smiling again it took Josh the longest to be happy thought. Every time the anniversary the parent's deaths come around Josh is a diffearnt person but Carlos can see why.
Carlos and Josh becoming brothers had made the two very close. So close that Carlos wouldn't be able to stand ruining. So Carlos knew he'd never be able to tell Josh about Logan. Carlos continued to lie in his bed all day until seven when Logan, Kendall, and James cane into the apartment from a nice day at the pool. Carlos came out of the room he and Kendall shared and greeted the guys. " Hey Carlos!" James said giving him a bright smile. "Hey Carlitos." said Kendall. "Hey Carlos." said Logan, it made Carlos melt inside. "Josh told us to tell you that he's sorry for getting you angry today and he hopes you'll forgive him" said Kendall smiling. Carlos smiled at that. Josh would always leave Carlos notes or a pass it on. "Why'd you leave the pool so early?" asked Logan. Carlos felt his hands get sweaty he couldn't say "Oh I just needed to think of how I have a crush on you but was scared to tell you AND I can't tell my brother because I'm too scared he'll shun me for it." So Carlos just answered "Oh I was really tired."
They all had dinner and Carlos got out his cell phone and texted Josh since they had different rooms I FORGIVE YOU. After a few minuets his phone vibrated with a text from Josh responding to the text before with (: ! Carlos smiled and went back to his and Kendall's got ready for bed and Kendal came in the room from brushing his teeth when Carlos asked "Kendall I can I talk to you about something?". "Sure Carlos!" Kendall said, Carlos then shhhhhhed him. "Not so loud." he whispered. "Okay" whispered back Kendall. Here I go thought Carlos
